The Ocoee River claimed another life Sunday, the second in two days at the popular rafting spot and former Olympic whitewater course.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office said a woman from Smyrna died after her party's raft became stuck in the first rapid below Ocoee Dam No. 2, the Grumpy's rapid area. It was in the same area that an Atlanta woman died a day earlier, officials said.
